Budapest - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Yes. Sidewalks are often uneven and in ill-repair, making walking difficult. Entering stores and other establishments often requires a step or two up. Some trams have high steps you must climb to get inside, and not all buses are equipped for wheelchairs. It would be a challenge. - Feb 2020
Some, but not insurmountable. - Nov 2018
The Metro stations are not always handicap (or stroller) accessible. Hungarians are usually very quick to help, especially with carrying strollers up and down stairs. - Dec 2017

Many. Some metro stops don't have elevators/escalators--only stairs. Same goes for underpasses for crossing the street. - Apr 2010

Hills, lots of stairs, high sidewalks with few ramps, split-foyer designs which require use of stairs to reach the elevator, no-parking poles and other sidewalk fixtures -- all are challenges, but not insurmountable. The Embassy has many built-in accommodations. - Feb 2008
